I want to make a plex nas so I don’t have to deal with Netflix and streaming services, here are some questions I have.

  1. What NAS should I get? I’ve heard Qnap is good, but I want to know around what nas I should get

  2. Is plex somewhat simple to setup and is there other software I should look at?

  3. Is there anything else I should know?

Edit: I ended up using an old laptop and running a file share from it then installing kodi on the other devices and using it as a storage point.

    What is using the ram? The arrs? My media server uses hardly any ram with plex, jellyfin, and a lot more…

      Yup, the arrs and transcoding also takes up a bit of RAM. I mentioned RAM because some entry level NAS isn’t designed for anything other than file storage.
